Good to meet you yesterday Tim. Hope I didn’t spoil your running commentary. Watching your video it got me thinking that our kids don’t have the same nostalgic fond memories we have. Also the amount of desolation and unhinged dismantling of our wonderful history. I get so angry at the clowns in charge who set all this in motion.
No issue with the commentary. You just hear yourself as I cut the video to speak. I got a great short in the Railway hotel at Bramall Lane full of real Sheffielders then walked past a bar in the New era square full of five bob millionaires. Summed it up for me Shane.
Good start to your walk Tim. Illustrating the desolation of once-thriving areas. What happened to the I996 plans when Mike Bower was Leader of the Council to build a new indoor market hall with a multi storey car park and new retail shops in Exchange Street bordering onto Broad Street? Somehow those plans were ditched and we got a new market down the Moor instead but not til twenty years later. One by one buildings have closed down and been left, often decades, as in the case of the Old Town Hall former Crown Court now abandoned thirty years. Canada House, formerly Panache House was left twenty years now going to be a charity music school for children; not a good spot I would aver right next to the tram. Looking forward to the delights of part 2 Tim. If you can find any!
If you go in the Moor Market wear a mask and boiler suit as it smells just as bad as the old market- Unbelievably bad, presumably from the rotting flesh on sale there.
The whole market area back when I was growing up in the 80' and 90' was heaving thousands of people around and it is like a ghost town now, I think I remember an open market behind the UK steel murial as well as the Castle, Sheaf and the stalls in between the two. I remember fondly going to the cafe's on Saturday mornings with my Mum and Grandma, The upstairs cafe in the Sheaf, and I think there was a couple in the Castle not to mention the fish market with the monkey that spun around the bar. I know it is supposed to be progress but to see it like this is depressing.
Moor Market smells worse than anything its possible to describe.I was in Manchester yesterday and its actually a living city not one closed down by the council.
I used to love the smell of the fish market as you walked down the ramp. I used to go on Saturdays with my mother (didn't we all) and she bought me a bag of shrimps with vinegar! You don't see shrimps any more. The sound of the fruit sellers "pound o' bananas!". "Pound o' tomatas!" My uncle who had been widowed could get a good dinner in the cafe.
Hi Tim. Thanks for another great video. I pretty mmuch agree with you too. All those nice buildings and history jusr ruined by the council as always. I have also heard that the tram is now in the hands of the public too.
What cyclists, but I am on my guard all the time. You should see the delivery cyclists near York St/High St. Lots of undesirables caught on my video yesterday.
@@timawells yes The door step opposite the German donner kebab place used to be full of drunks and druggies Now it's undesirables from the third world The takeaway delivery bikes from deliveroo are an obvious immigration scam
Sheffield or Mariupol ? Zombie city vibes Tim it's awful. Unfortunately we will never get anywhere near a 50% pullback to what it once was or should still be and worse still nobody will be held accountable when this agenda proves to be disasterous . Agree that the remains will be interesting but thats about it for me. Good video Tim
Crikey more desolation. The City was a thriving hub of business and shops. Now look at it. Hardly a success story and I try to avoid it as much as possible.
Trouble is, the younger generations do not remember what it was like. The Rag n' Tag has been gone forty years, the Castle market ten. The area was still thriving in the 'Nineties but why were the plans shelved for the new market?
The whole city centre is now a tacky unwelcoming dump, a human battery farm with people packed into boxes in the sky. The slums of the future for sure, it's been tried before and they know it.
Is that it accept your Doom. What about a clean up campaign. More food stalls at Pinstone Street will the luxury hotel want that on its' frontage? Food spilt everywhere and discarded. Nothing makes sense people struggling to pay bills so we need another luxury hotel and people constantly buying takeaway food that we used to have as a treat on a day at the seaside if we were lucky a hot dog! No peace in the Peace Gardens.

You have confused me MissCoutts didn't realise you was Miss Havisham.
If you go in the Moor Market wear a mask and boiler suit as it smells just as bad as the old market- Unbelievably bad, presumably from the rotting flesh on sale there.
I'm old enough to remember when Sheffield City Centre was a thriving bustling shopping centre always pulsing with life.
Its so rough now.
Dog rough. Wait til the weather gets hot people walking in street in beach clothes my Victorian grandma would've had a dicky-fit!
@@misscoutts6193 Not much class anymore is their Miss Coutts.

300,000 used to turn up for the Lord Mayors parade.
Why was it discontinued along with the Star Walk? I remember the Rag Week with students selling "Twikker" magazine. Now I'm getting nostalgic 😢
@@misscoutts6193 No full marathon either.
@@timawellswe get the bike races though.
@@misscoutts6193 Not as inclusive a bike race.
Bi tim great content mate love it

Yes SY mayoral have the tram.
sheffield was great in the 80s 90s, don't even recognise it anymore, glad I left
Absolutely. Even better before I was born.
Where's the rest of the video? That a part 2?
There are 5 parts. I am releasing part 2 today. I have put a playlist in the video so you can watch all 5 videos at once.
I have already. Top marks.
The tram bridge is called bow bridge
What is that about?
Pause the video at 04:12
There's a sign saying beware cyclists

More to come Jon. That was the 1st episode.
How can anyone call it progress? It's been totally retrograde and wholesale destruction that continues unabated.
Sheffield voted for 4 more years of this
Sheeple🐑.
Mindless zombies. 🧟♂️🧟♀️
I despair at Sheffielders.😞
I can't get my breathe.
Crikey more desolation. The City was a thriving hub of business and shops. Now look at it. Hardly a success story and I try to avoid it as much as possible.
No one couldn't say I didn't pick a busy time. After 12:30pm Saturday and reasonable weather and snooker.
Yes I'm afraid the truth hurts.
Trouble is, the younger generations do not remember what it was like. The Rag n' Tag has been gone forty years, the Castle market ten. The area was still thriving in the 'Nineties but why were the plans shelved for the new market?
@@misscoutts6193 They young have lived a very commercial and sanitised life.
It's happened because they got rid of our manufacturing jobs. Also the H & S culture.
The whole city centre is now a tacky unwelcoming dump, a human battery farm with people packed into boxes in the sky. The slums of the future for sure, it's been tried before and they know it.
Yes Alex we saw it in the 50s, it was a big mistake, so they have done it ten fold.
What's going on🤔 who is going to live in these pigeon huts? 🤡
@@timawells the architects didn't live in them and still don't.
@@misscoutts6193 Some guy from the University got the Park Hill flats listed.
@@timawells then it was sold to Urban Splash for £1.
its gone and its never coming back, no point living in the what and how it used to be, just accept that its shit now
If you don't fight this, they will come for you next in your communities.
Is that it accept your Doom.
